Dan 11:32

Wrapping up the year with the thirtieth episode of 2024, looking back over the year that was, and forward to the year of our Lord 2025!

In this week's episode we continue to consider the household, and the challenges that this foundational institution is facing in today's world. Policy Horizons Canada has produced a study that includes a number of conclusions about the nature and future of the household, and in this episode we'll work through that document, to see what kinds of conclusions that the "think tanks" of the Canadian bureaucracy are arriving at. The Policy Horizons study can be found here: https://horizons.service.canada.ca/en/2024/future-lives-uncertainty/index.shtml

In this week's episode, we begin a study of C.R. Wiley's excellent 2019 book, The Household and the War for the Cosmos: Recovering a Christian Vision for the Family, published by Canon Press. What has happened to the household, and how can we recover the Biblical understanding of the household and its foundational role in every part of society? Those are the questions that C.R. Wiley seeks to answer in this book, and I think he provides some very helpful and thought-provoking insights that will encourage us as we work through this book over the next few episodes!

In this eighth part of the series "Eschatology 101," we examine the second and fifth trumpets of Revelation 8 and 9 in more detail, and discuss the importance of having a Biblically-informed understanding of Revelation, as opposed to the kind of "newspaper exegesis" that is often done in popular studies of eschatology.

There are a lot of "sevens" in the book of Revelation, and this is the seventh episode in this series on Biblical eschatology! In this episode we look at the 144,000 and the "great multitude" in Revelation 7, and give a quick overview of chapter 8.

The identity of the four horsemen of the apocalypse has led to a great deal of speculation. In this episode, we focus on the horsemen and what they represent, as we continue to work through the first chapters of the book of Revelation.

This is the second part of a series on eschatology, the Biblical doctrine of the last things.

Today's episode is the first of a series on the subject of eschatology - the study of "the ultimate or final things." Given the current events happening in the Middle East, the subject of eschatology has been on many people's minds of late. In this series we will be studying what Scripture has to say - beginning in this episode with a study of the "Little Apocalypse" of Matthew 24.

A letter purported to have been written by Freemason Albert Pike in 1871 has been making the rounds once again recently. In this week's episode, I take a critical look at this letter to see if it's all that it claims to be.

Horrific stories have been coming out of Israel in recent days, and people are choosing sides in this conflict. In this week's episode, we take a look at the propaganda war that's being waged, with a look back to one of the worst frauds that led up to the Gulf War - a cautionary tale.

In today's episode I discuss Joel Webbon's 2023 book Fight By Flight. Is "fleeing" from certain cities, provinces or states, or even countries, a legitimate option for faithful Christians?

In July I was invited to give a presentation to a mission congregation in Brazil on what the church needs to learn from the Covid experience. Today's episode is the English-language version of that presentation. Why do we need to discuss this issue, and not just "put it behind us" for the sake of keeping the peace? This is the question I'm discussing this week.

On July 28th, the Daily Mail published a story about Lois Cardinal, an indigenous man who underwent unsuccessful sex change surgery, applied for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), and was rejected.
